lyrics

I’ve been running from the long arm of the law.
And there’s no way they’ll ever find me.
Police man come and police man go,
But they do never leave beside me.

A world of wonder,
Greek tragedy?
Imagine if you will
No forest through the trees.
Only blind justice and dishonesty.
The myths that we believe
Just bring us to our knees.

God -- they have tainted your words.
Love -- they murder in your name.
Faith -- they stole a part of you,
And death is no salvation

God -- they kill in your name.
Love -- they stole a part of you.
Faith -- they tainted your words,
And death is no salvation.

No salvation.
There is no salvation.
No salvation.
There is no salvation,
If your aim is not salvation.

I’ve been running from the long arm of the law.
And there’s no way they’ll ever find me.
Police man come and police man go,
But they do never leave beside me.

There flies a hummingbird.
There sits an iron fist.
Billions of years of accidents,
Made these two things exist.
And when they fight --
Only one will win.
But the crowd is pleased,
They're on their knees,
They can’t resist.

God -- they have tainted your words.
Love -- they murder in your name.
Faith -- they stole a part of you,
And death is no salvation.

God -- they kill in your name.
Love -- they stole a part of you.
Faith -- they tainted your words,
And death is no salvation.

No salvation.
There is no salvation.
No salvation.
There is no salvation,
If your aim is not salvation.

I’ve been running from the long arm of the law.
And there’s no way they’ll ever find me.
Police man come and police man go,
But they do never leave beside me.
